Now scientists say they've identified an easy upgrade for the technology that would lead to more accurate gene editing with increased safety that could open the door for gene editing safe enough for use in humans.http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15058/how-to-make-the-gene-editing-tool-crispr-work-even-better?rsst2id=http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15058/how-to-make-the-gene-editing-tool-crispr-work-even-better?rsst2id=Tue, 14 Aug 2018 ZZZPaving the way to highly stretchable and transparent electronicsScientists have proposed a novel method for the fabrication of highly transparent, electrically conductive, stretchable tough hydrogels modified by single-walled carbon nanotubes.http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15070/paving-the-way-to-highly-stretchable-and-transparent-electronics?rsst2id=http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15070/paving-the-way-to-highly-stretchable-and-transparent-electronics?rsst2id=Tue, 14 Aug 2018 ZZZBrett Martin and Lightsource BP form a solar energy partnershipBrett Martin, one of Northern Ireland's most successful independent manufacturing companies announced that they are now procuring renewable electricity from a solar installation funded and developed by Lightsource BP, a global leader in the solar industry.http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15081/brett-martin-and-lightsource-bp-form-a-solar-energy-partnership?rsst2id=http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15081/brett-martin-and-lightsource-bp-form-a-solar-energy-partnership?rsst2id=Tue, 14 Aug 2018 ZZZUber uses machine learning for business and personal ridesIt's not surprising that business travelers sometimes forget to switch their payment method from personal to business when riding with Uber. These innocent mistakes are common with the rise of 'bleisure' trips that mix business and leisure - and they not only hinder productivity for the employee that needs to figure out how to fix the error, but also add extra steps for the travel manager or account administrator.http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15077/uber-uses-machine-learning-for-business-and-personal-rides?rsst2id=http://www.energyharvestingjournal.com/articles/15077/uber-uses-machine-learning-for-business-and-personal-rides?rsst2id=Tue, 14 Aug 2018 ZZZFirst full electric mobility company in NairobiThe first ever full electric mobility service in East Africa.
